Many of the world's top car manufacturers compete in F1. The cars are capable of speeds up to around 360 km/h (225 mph), are turbocharged, and rev to up to 15,000 RPM. A Formula One race is typically 305 km (190 miles) in length and lasts around one and a half to two hours.
According to figures released by management, the 2020 season had a cumulative TV audience of 1.5 billion, compared to 1.9 billion in 2019; an average of about 90 million viewers per grand prix.

The 2022 Australian Grand Prix saw the most people ever, with an estimated 419,114 people in attendance over the course of the three-day race weekend; the previous record was held by the 2021 United States Grand Prix with 400,000 attendees.

Alan Jones (born 1946) is an Australian racing driver who won the 1980 Formula One World Championship, to become the second, and most recent, Aussie to win the title, after Jack Brabham. He was the first driver to become World Champion driving for the Williams team.
Making his F1 début in 1975 for Hesketh, Jones soon moved to Hill and then Surtees in 1976. A lack of success saw him temporarily leave F1 before the opportunity drive a Shadow presented itself, and Jones became a Grand Prix winner at the Austrian Grand Prix.
After a deal with Ferrari fell through, Jones moved to the young Williams team in 1978 as the team's sole driver. After some slow progress, Jones won four races in five in the second half of 1979 to finish third in the Championship. Things kept going up in 1980 as the Aussie took another five victories (and a non-championship win) to become World Champion ahead of Nelson Piquet and teammate Carlos Reutemann. Jones took two wins in 1981, en route to third in the Championship, and decided to retire from F1.
